Louisiana

louisiana holiday transit. i finally am getting to spend a little more time in my grassroots of a city, Shreveport. this is where i started trying to become involved in the arts scene. i started selling my art originals in night clubs and other social outings. that all began near the end of 2013. my friend introduced me to the concept you can make money from being good at your artwork. that’s been something i’ve made become my only source of income for four years. i have learn a lot about myself and my value. 2018 is going to bring a lot of new things into my life, career, thinking patterns.

i’m looking to teach my friends and anyone who’s interested in learning some of what guided me to success. my colleague @jwes115 was consulting me and we combined our forces to begin an agency in late 2015. i’m looking to see how we evolve this year,

i want to impact the arts community in a new way that empowers the artist and creates new opportunity for success.

single days are the collection of 48 hours for me now. i have been drawing consistently while maintaining many other aspects of my career and balancing a social life. it’s basically all merged into one. everything is golden in moderation. if you aim to keep focused then you will eventually accomplish a lot.

become aware of your “time” and how you chose to spend it. that might probably be the greatest tip i would give out to anyone seeking fulfillment in a non-traditional life-style.

it’s with heavy thought and deep contemplation that i have decided to take on a daily drawing challenge. this took a lot of thought and preparation. mentally this challenge is something i never expected to actually take on from fear of failure. ultimately i am aware that it’s through my own dedication and passion that this could even happen. i had to overcome a lot of life lessons and vices. i had to put a lot on the back burner and learn how to tell others “no”. i had to get over partying, making excuses, and dividing my attention improperly. i think that this is a perfect time to begin this project, hopefully something great comes from this journey- the evolution is something i am excited to witness.

i had to really change gears on what i wanted to funnel my attention into and my art is probably the greatest thing i could do it with. it’s best to just go ahead and try. it doesn’t hurt to try. this phrase seems to be following me a lot lately.

again, thank you all for the unending support and love being given to me over the years. i am filled with excitement to fall in love with my gift yet again. if there is a certain piece you would like a print of, please email me at iamleeaux@gmail.com – or inbox me here.

i owe my success to the beloved friends who come into my life to lift my spirits when everything seems…overwhelming. after moving to New Orleans my life drastically changed for the better.realistically i needed to enter a larger city for more eyes to view my art to take me further. i didn’t want to go too far from Louisiana just yet-it will always be home for me. so here i am, thankful to even having made it this far.

this is Gavin, this is before we went to this place called The Republic. i feel like i harassed the marketing guy (Chris) to check out my website- mainly because he said he would, so i was just verifying that he would by asking him twice. i just really never believe anyone who i meet in a club setting that says they will do something without even getting any contact information.

that’s like saying i will be right back to your merch table to get something,

anyway- my phone isn’t broken anymore but my service will be off tomorrow.
